Outstanding facilities

Our commitment to
academic excellence is backed by the highest quality facilities and equipment,
with over £150 million invested in the last few years to further develop and
improve our campuses.

“From all the excellent new study facilities at the University I especially like the Hive - a fantastic big library where you can find all the books that you need. It’s very modern and high-tech.”

Specialised facilities

Our three campuses are closely linked by footpaths and cycle routes and
offer exceptional learning environments- all within a 20 minute walk from each
other. From the contemporary science labs and incredible sports facilities at
the recently refurbished St John’s and Riverside campuses, to our business
school in the modernised Georgian buildings of City Campus, we have a number of
specialised facilities that are central to your learning.

Nursing students benefit from our cutting-edge simulation facility and
clinical skills suite, enabling them to practice in safe environments and
gain the confidence and competence needed before embarking on a career within
the health service.

For those seeking careers within the arts, The Garage, a renovated
industrial building near St John’s campus, offers inspiring studios, workshop
spaces and all the necessary equipment for practising fine art, illustration,
and ceramics.

With a reputation for sporting excellence, our sports students have a
wide range of specialist amenities to aid their studies. From the 2,000 seat
University of Worcester Arena and fitness suites to human
performance labs and floodlit astroturf pitches, our sports
facilities cater for the needs of both able-bodied and disabled athletes.

“The facilities at the University are really good, especially the clinical rooms where students can attend training simulations to build on skills and experience scenarios before going out into practice, preparing for the real ward experience.”

Learning spaces and IT facilities

Group study and learning spaces are located throughout our campuses,
providing an excellent environment for you to study. These flexible areas
include computer labs, wired and wi-fi internet access, and e-learning
applications. Open access computers are also available in other campus areas
such as the library and the popular Peirson Study and Guidance Centre.

In the spotlight

The Hive

A ground-breaking joint venture between the University and Worcester
City Council, the Hive is a multi-million pound library and the first of its
kind in Europe. Opened in 2012, the beautifully designed centre is home to a
quarter of a million books and 12 miles of archive collections, as well as a
number of educational and cultural spaces to support its busy events programme.
With over 48 awards to its name, The Hive is now the most celebrated university
library in the country, with accolades for its innovative services, staff and
the building itself.
